AfD is a lot quieter these days, but many years ago it was a raging torrent of deletionists and it felt like you and I were among the few inclusionists. It was also good that you held the spirit of WP above personal prejudice, when so many others, me included struggle with it. Should your friends or family view this message I hope it brings them a little comfort.
